"Welcome to the complete playguide that will transform both newbies and veterans alike into Quake II Gods. No longer will you be the one at the LAN party yelling out, 'Hey!

Quake-Au — Everglide Mousepad Review, by k-wayne

"This review was meant to come a long time ago. It was interrupted by the biggest game of the year being released (HalfLife), practicing for Australia's biggest lan event (Impulse 98) and various other real life constraints. I'd like to thank the Everglide ppl for sending me the attack pad and for being (somewhat) patient while I try and write up an objective review for quake-au."

PlanetQuake: Riding the Rocket — Weekly Quake II Trickjump Challenges, by Kaj s8n Haffenden

"Last week's first challenge was a bit of a toughie, wasn't it? :). Rest assured, this week's is nice and easy.. well, not too easy to manage a 'perfect' demo, but certainly easy to submit an entry for. In as many ways as you can, without weapons, get to the block above the machinegun. Turning deathmatch mode on will make it easier for one of the jumps, btw, so don't forget that :). -Kaj s8n Haffenden"
